Programming SQL Server with XML

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is the lingua franca of business information exchange. And with "Programming Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with XML", developers get the expert guidance they need to build powerful, XML-enabled database applications for line-of-business, e-commerce, and the Web. Readers explore relevant XML technologies, industry practices, and the Windows DNA application platform, including discussion of the BizTalk "TM" Framework. Then they dig into the specifics of using XML and SQL Server 2000 to simplify cross-platform data exchange. The author steps through the construction of several real-world solutions -- including examples of the browser-based database applications that drive business-to-consumer and business-to-business e-commerce. All the book's sample applications appear on the companion CD-ROM so readers can study and reuse them for their own projects.
